01 THE MOMENT YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH DRAWING
I’ve always drawn. It was my way for dreaming, I could loose myself for hours as a child drawing out my thoughts and dreams- I suppose it hasn’t changed.
02 A PAINTING THAT IS MEANINGFUL TO YOU
‘10am is when you come to me’-louise Bourgeois - for me it’s a symbol of the push and pull, between the need for isolation and human contact.
03 WHERE DO YOU FIND STILLNESS
Under a hot sun.
04 WHAT DOES ART MEAN TO YOU
Expressing yourself in some sort of visual poetry.

06 A HEIRLOOM THAT HAS MEANING TO YOU
I don’t keep a lot of things being honest. I am very good and being minimal

Spending time alone. It gives me time to think and process. I think when we are less chaotic in the head, we can appreciate our surroundings more.
Nature, the ocean, light.

My love language is quality time.
